How to convert a "DD-MMM-YYYY" string to a date in Jquery?

I've a date in string "14-Jun-2014". I want to convert it to a date; something like this 14-06-2014. For $("#InvoiceToDate").text(); I get this "14-Jun-2014"

So for

new Date($("#InvoiceToDate").text())

But its showing 

Sat Jun 14 2014 00:00:00 GMT+0600 (Bangladesh Standard Time)

I've also tried this

new Date($("#InvoiceToDate").text()).toLocaleString('en-GB');

Now its showing almost what I wanted.

"06/08/2014 00:00:00"

How can I get only dd/MM/yyyy. Please help.

Something like this:

var fecha = "14-Jun-2014";
var myDate = new Date(fecha);
console.log(myDate);

    This will not work in all browsers. [Date() requires](http://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/5.1/#sec-15.9.1.15) a properly formatted date string, which "14-Jun-2014" isn't. – thykka Jun 13 '14 at 13:29

    It works with Chrome, but not with Firefox. They have different implementations of Date.parse() – thykka Jun 13 '14 at 13:35

I had similar kind of problem. This works for me.

var now = new Date("14-Jun-2014");
now.toLocaleDateString("en-GB");

This returns "14/06/2014" in Chrome.

UPDATE:

FF and IE wouldn't swallow "14-Jun-2014". However, if you could remove the dashes from the string and replace with spaces like "14 Jun 2014" then it will work on both browsers.

var now = new Date("14 Jun 2014");
now.toLocaleDateString("en-GB");

See if this helps.
